UNITED STATES GEORGE M. TAGGART AND FRANK M.

NICHOLS, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

HAIRPIN.

Application filed. October 24, 1924. Serial No, 745,633.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that GEORGE M. TAGGART and FRANK M. Nronons, citizens of the United states, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hairpins, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in hair pins, designed particularly for use with short or bobbed hair, where-in through the particular formation of the hairpin, an unusual frictional grip is secured upon the hair, with the result of effectively holding the folds or coils of the hair notwithstanding its short length. r v

The improved hair pin comprises a resilient length of material of greater width than thickness, bent to provide an open loop and legs in contact throughout their length and on their relatively broad surfaces, the free terminals of the legs being slightly outturned.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. in which:

Fig. 1 is an edge view of the improved hair pin.

Fig. 2 is a side view.

Fig. 3 is a view in elevation of a modified form.

The improved hair pin comprises a length 1 of resilient material bent into loop form to provide an end loop 2 and le s 3 and 4: projecting from the loop and en stantially in contact below the loop throughout their 85 full lengths. The free terminals of the legs are slightly outturned at 5 to facilitate spreading of the legs in the application of the hair pin.

The hair pin is constructed of material having a greater width than thickness, and the material is bent across the width so that the legs present the width or'broad surfaces in contact with each other.

If desired, and as contemplated, a sinuous form may be imparted to the legs as shown in Fig.3, and it is apparent that without departing from the spirit of the invention, other forms may be given the legs at will.

The essential feature of the invention is the provision of the resilient legs having GEORGE M. TAGGART. FRANK M. NICHOLS.
